Arcania Gothic 4 demo is awful.; What happened to my Gothic ?

So I checked out the demo to see how it compare to other games in the franchise since it's made by different people and not Piranha Bytes, and I facepalm every minutes playing this.

-Main character is a wussy shepherd instead of massively sarcastic badass walking the span of the game never once losing his stride of sarcastic of the the first three.

-No climbing, no swimming animation, heck, can't even enter water.

-The AI is absolute atrocious. Fights are retarded to the point of... I don't know, but 'retarded' doesn't begin to describe it. You pretty much click stuff to death gothic 3 style. Enemy attacks don't do ****, BUT! they can use 'power attacks'. And this means, their weapons suddenly start flashing and they're frozen in this 'epic pose' for 2 seconds, giving you enough time to roll behind their backs and hack away. But even IF you're hit by these (which requires complete reflex impairment), they take like... 10 of your hp. Which is barely anything. The demo also has a couple of skeleton mages that throw fireballs at you. They charge them for FOUR SECONDS (yes, I counted it), and shoot them at your INITIAL LOCATION. P A T H E T I C. In the whole demo, I didn't find a SINGLE challenging fight, even though I faced four skeleton knights at once, three skeleton mages or two minecrawlers. Everything is TRASH. GARBAGE. PATHETIC. You also regen health outside combat.

-Gone is the grit medieval atmosphere with dangerous men and fearsome beasts, dialogues are stupid:

"You are pregnant?!"
"Who told you that?!"
"Halwen!"
"The idiot! But I always wanted a baby... isn't that what you always wanted too?"
"Yes, but it's all so sudden!"
"Fair enough. Is there anything else you wanted from me?"

Jesus. Gothic dialogues may not have been high brow philosophical wankery, but they were all cool. They were often sarcastic, witty and with a certain sparkle. But this, what the heck is this ?

-Steal from anyone, anywhere, in the previous games people with beat you or call the guards if you're caught stealing, can beat people freely.

This is not a Gothic game. This is not even an RPG. This is a retardedly bad hack'n'slash with a hipster main character. I can't find a single good thing about this game (okay, maybe the optimization is good because I didn't get a single slowdown at high graphics settings).

And I though SW's English voices are bad

I'll stick with Risen.
